Congratulations to my very talented and accomplished wife, Lori. This week Lori was honored by being selected as the HR Florida Volunteer of the year. Lori volunteers as the State Certification Director to the HR Florida State Council. A few months ago Lori volunteered to become ’Chair’ of the program committee too for the HR Florida state conference when the Program Chair stepped down suddenly.* Over 1,200 HR representatives attended the conference. Prior to Lori’s appointment to the State Council, Lori served on the board of HRTampa (the local branch of SHRM) as Director, Education/ Certification 2001-2006.
* Lori abides by the insightful words of Susan Corey, my Workforce Development Colleague from Michigan who says, “Leadership occurs wherever you are.”
Lori is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). She is an active member of the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). SHRM is the world’s largest association committed to advancing the human resource profession to ensure that HR is an essential and effective partner in developing and executing organizational strategy. Beyond her HR volunteering, Lori serves the community as a volunteer/ambassador with H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. And lastly, Lori volunteers as a Beginning Instructor for the Taoist Tai Chi Society. Taoist Tai Chi™ internal art of taijiquan incorporates stretching and turning into a sequence of movements that improve the health of body, mind and spirit. It is a slow-paced, low-impact flowing form of exercise that builds strength, increases flexibility and enhances balance.
